Help my friend Alison (and George the Lurcher) on their sponsored walk to raise funds for The Samaritans! www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

We have cricket!

“Go f*ck yourself JD!”

Fantastic news - despite the interference from Trump, Putin, Farage and their lackeys, the Hungarian people have rejected Fascism and chosen democracy!

@nonleaguedogs.bsky.social A better picture of Bear, six weeks old and watching his first game at Canvey Island v Dulwich Hamlet (he was supporting Dulwich!)

For those unfamiliar with Canvey Island, it’s a small island on the north side of the Thames Estuary, just below Tilbury. The majority of the island is below sea level and the football club marks this on the side of the terracing at the ground. At high tide, one can see ships passing the ground!

Feeling quite proud of myself today. Built an IKEA desk and have only one screw left over - plus it hasn’t fallen apart yet!

Good old Pickles!

Let's Buy Our Swan - The White Swan, Charlton www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/whiteswana...

Starting to explore my new neighbourhood and very nice it is too!

@garius.bsky.social They’re on here! bsky.app/profile/chop...

A belated first visit to the Dripping Pan, home of Lewes FC to watch the mighty @dulwichhamletfc.bsky.social who sadly lost 2-1. At least we should be able to return next season, as the result gave the home team’s survival chances a big boost!

Unexpected bonus for arriving early at Victoria Station today for my trip to Lewes. Heritage Running Day on route 38 organised by the London Transport Museum. Time for a cheeky couple journeys!

Two fine cricketers together!

Ickenham Cricket Club coming out of hibernation and starting to look like a cricket ground once again.

NEW POST 🗞️ The world’s leading left-wing football clubs 📣 Politics and football mix on both sides of the political spectrum. In the suburbs of Hamburg, London, Dublin, Paris, and beyond, interesting movements are happening. Read on… open.substack.com/pub/outsidew...

I think this is the first bar I’ve visited with a painting of the Tirpitz on the wall.

Moving day. Fortunately, the sun is shining!

It’s no surprise that foreign tourism to the U.S. has declined dramatically.

Don’t travel to the USA! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I suspect the beginning of the end of the monarchy in this country. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Morons. I hope you’re proud of yourselves.

Just had an announcement at Dulwich Hamlet “Last call for the giant bag of mature cheddar found in the clubhouse!” Only in non league!

7 for me.

Done this, just in case Bluesky gets banned in the USA. Also I’m sure Elmo will hate it!

Lip up Fatty.

So, Jim Ratcliffe is just another rich racist.

I visited a public house earlier this evening and drank some beer.

Planet of the Sausages.

@trakky22.bsky.social One for your reading list!

“I was only following orders.” I don’t think that defence counts as being valid, Kristi.

The Dutch said it right.

The (as far as I know) last surviving Auxiliary Fire Service pumping station on the Thames at Charlton. Still hanging on!

The Anchor & Hope on the Thames Path at Charlton. Closed when the owner sadly passed away and now looking very unlikely ever to re-open.

One of my pet hates on the Elizabeth Line this morning. Utter moron.

Indicative of the halfwits currently running the USA and the halfwit-in-chief. (Apologies to all halfwits out there, as these people don’t even have half a wit between them.)

If you’re thinking of going to the US for holiday, World Cup or business, you need to think again. Trump’s Goon Squad doesn’t have boundaries, if you’re a living being you can be targeted. Gift link.

@footballandwar.bsky.social is looking forward to this event on the 17th March. Another great collaboration with @chathmuseum.bsky.social and @blitzwalker.bsky.social that will include a talk by @spiritof47.bsky.social and a Q&A with @verypopularname.bsky.social Places are limited More Info below

1. The tariffs are paid by US consumers 2. Greenland isn't for sale 3. Go f**k yourself

Repost with your home river. The Thames - endlessly fascinating. Not like me!

THREAD/Today marks the 85th anniversary of one of the more notorious incidents from the London Blitz, which sadly was an exception to the usual rule that Underground stations were safe and secure places to sit (or sleep) through an air raid. on 11 January 1941, the alert had recently sounded and...

Pre-match offering at The Green Goddess!

Thanks to @darryl1974.bsky.social, @blitzwalker.bsky.social & @vincerai.bsky.social for taking me to my first ever @charltonathletic.bsky.social match as well as the excellent @chathmuseum.bsky.social! And thanks for the wonderful @modmag.bsky.social zine! Fingers crossed for the cup match tonight!

This⬇️ There is zero reason why any decent government, organisation or individual should retain even a dormant presence on Twitter. The time for excuses for remaining has long passed.

And that, England cricketers, is how you bat in a test match. Grind the opposition into the dust.

Happy Easter everyone!
